1.0 Back Shavers Men, Hair Removal Body Shaver (DIY) - Extra-Long Handle Trimmer, Wet Dry Shave

This product is truly one of the most amazing yet simple designs I have ever seen. I have no idea why there are some people out there saying the reviews on this product are fake. I am just a consumer who stumbled across this product while searching for hair removal products. At first i was a bit put off by the comments about reviews being fake, and also the company's website seems a bit cheesy so I was really not sure if I should buy the product. After waiting a few months to see some more reviews and watching some of the YouTube videos out there I decided to purchase. I can tell you that this is BY FAR the easiest and fastest way you can shave anywhere on your body. It is designed as a back razor but the razor can really be used just about anywhere on your body (not face). You can take the razor off the handle and just slide it anywhere you want, and like magic the hair is gone. All of the videos out there show people using the razor on dry skin, I think to use it in the shower is the best way. When I first received I used on dry skin, it worked fine, but I did notice a slight irritation on the areas I had shaved, nothing big just slight. In the shower, totally different story....once skin is wet, you barely even notice the "back scratch" sensation that is described in the advertisements, it just slides over skin and removes hair with absolutely no irritation. As for closeness, I think you can't get any closer even if you use regular razor, I am able to completely remove any signs of stubble with this, and the best part, you can do you entire back, shoulders, arms, etc in minutes (like 2). Keeping on my manscaping has never been easier. Thank you BakBlade!! ***update*** Just to let all know, not only is the product great but the seller is top notch. I had ordered extra blades directly form bak blade website(you get three for 12.95, good deal) but the company sent two, I assume in error....I sent e-mail to company to ask them to fulfill the order, they promptly respond and sent an extra blade on top of the missing one. Also the blade I am using is still the original one, it has been almost 2 months, I use three times a week and I only use in the shower and the blade is still going strong....I think using it dry will dull the blade quicker, but have no fear, these blades hold up! ***update 3/7/14*** Original blade is still going strong, seriously this razor is amazing, as I said I use in shower, or directly after while back is still wet, no issues at all. At this rate even shaving everyday you may got through 2-3 blades a year at most.

I no longer believe that any gadget or miracle cure I see advertised will work. In fact I am confident that every claim made for products online or on TV will certainly not do a thing. Hair removal has followed this trend. I tried the ridiculous battery powered wand, which did nothing and broke within 10 minutes. I also tried the silly handle that just holds your regular razor so you can reach difficult spots. Also a disaster. I promised myself I wouldn't waste anymore money on products that claim to be able to clear the hard to reach hair on my back and shoulders. I stuck to that promise for many years and just dealt with being hairy. Recently I saw a youtube video making the same claims about the baKblade, and at first I dismissed it as being as useless as any of the others. The video seemed pretty legitimate however, and the guy was just laying waste to the hair on his back. I decided to break my promise and give it a try. The baKblade shipped quickly and discreetly and within an hour of receiving it I had laid out towels on the floor in front of the large bedroom mirror and gave it a try. I decided to use the dry method only because the video I had seen was made that way. I can tell you that I am not overly flexible, but the handle of the baKblade is long and strong and made reaching the difficult areas quite easy. I did a few swipes and knew right away that this was different. During methods I had tried before I could feel the blade just gliding over the hair and not actually cutting it. This was just the opposite. With just a little bit of force, the blade went right to the skin surface and cut the hair off like I was shearing a sheep. I can't express how wonderful it was to feel the blade effortlessly and painlessly erasing the hair. I saw it falling to the floor and was thrilled. I went to the mirror and fine-tuned a few areas, and in literally 10 minutes the baKblade had done what no other product in 20 years had been able to do. My next assumption was that the hair was being cut, but it would be stubbly and not a particularly smooth result. I was completely wrong about that as well. Not only was the hair gone, but my skin was completely smooth. The hair was gone and it felt as though it had never been there. After a shower, during which it felt insane to feel the water on my bare skin, I put on a clean shirt and freaked out a little bit by the feeling of the cotton against my bare skin. It felt so different. It was wonderful. Some have reported irritation after a day, but I have not experienced that at all. I feel cooler (less hot, not like Fonzie), and I feel cleaner, and even though no one can see, I feel more confident. I don't feel like a side-show freak anymore. If you've tried other products and were disappointed, as I was, this may very well be your answer. I can't say enough about how wonderful my experience with baKblade has been. Believe me when I tell you that the baKblade WORKS! Thank you!

The bakBlade (bb) is well made and functional. It provides the best solution for back hair that I have ever found. I have tried about 12 other solutions, including electric clippers in a special holder, standard razors with extended handles, holders for regular razors, single flat blade extra wide razors with telescoping handles, creams, and many other types of solutions. The bb is the first I have used that actually removes the hair as one would expect, and does so with little effort. I did not give it five stars for two reasons. Firstly, the blade gets dull too quickly. I shave my face every other day, mostly because I'm rushed every morning, not because I don't need to shave. But my razors last weeks and weeks if properly cleaned (I use the five blade model on my face). The bb seems to get dulled after only 7 or 8 uses, which is how many times I have used it. Considering the cost of the blades, they need to last longer or cost less. Secondly, though the bb does not require much pressure to get the job done, the handle needs to be more rigid. Yes, many others will tell you to let the blade do the work, and it does do the work. But with a more rigid handle the bb would be easier to control and more accurate. The bb can be used wet or dry, though I prefer dry. The first time I used it I was pretty sure it was not working, but then I turned and saw a pile of hair on the floor. I was happy to see it was working, but sad and shocked I was a lot more hairy than I thought. One tip. Make that two tips. When you shave your upper back, train yourself to use the opposite arm to shave each half of your back, the right arm for the left side of your back and vice versa. This because if you try to shave the same side, which is what you will want to do by instinct, those flexing muscles will be hard to navigate. If you do opposite sides, you can keep your back flat and assist the blade. The second tip is to shave your lower back, from the mid back and down, from the side. The blade stays a lot more flat when hitting the mid and lower back from the side than it does by attempting to reach all the way down. Actually, I run the blade both ways, but more hair was removed when approached from the side. Maybe it's my body type, but that is what works for me. I recommend the razor and buying a handful of extra blades at the same time. I actually prefer the No No type device, which my girlfriend uses with great success, but it is expensive and I'm not sure I want my hair permanently removed. It's something I might need as an old man, sitting in my cold, barren room, to keep me warm. Actually, there is new technology allowing one's body hair to be transplanted to one's head - if I ever go bald, you never know...

Its important to note that I am hairy. Not just a patch of hair near my shoulder blades or at the base of my back. I am hairy, all over my back from shoulder to shoulder from neck to buttocks... I have tried almost every product on the market to get rid of my back hair including getting my back waxed on a semi-regular basis. The back waxing gave me a nice smooth back but left me with "backne" and grew back to quick to justify the time and money spent on the service. I've tried using a regular razor both with and without the Razorba. I've even attached an electric trimmer to the Razorba with rubber bands and duct tape to try to speed up the hair removal process. All of these techniques have worked but have come at some type of cost like expense, time or discomfort. I was doing my regular research and ran across the backSPA. It looked weird. But it also looked like it may work (remember the duct tape and Razorba, i will obviously try anything). So i hit the buy now button and bought it through Amazon. I do have one ding and that is that the backSPA is not eligible for Prime members. I love my Prime membership so sometimes when I don't see a product qualifies it will give me pause. I decided to buy anyway and I am forever glad i did. The seller, Chris, reached out to me letting me know that an updated model was about to ship and offered me the option of getting an existing unit or wait a short time for the update. I decided to wait and get the update. I did not wait long and the communication was on point. The backSPA is EASY to use! The long handle makes it possible to reach all of my back without straining. You do have to move your back around to get some spots but no more than you move your face to compensate for the angles of your face. Its also quite light so it doesn't get heavy as you are working on banishing the hair. My first time using it took only about 4 minutes to remove all of my hair which was in full growth pattern. In fact, it worked so well that I thought it wasn't even working at one point. It can't be that easy. Well, it IS that EASY. You simply drag it along your dry skin and the hair shaves off. The design even catches some of the hair if you are shaving from above which helps to minimize the mess. It feels strange but no uncomfortable. It is important to note that you do not get a freshly shaved smooth back from the backSPA. It feels more like you have used an electric razor. I prefer leaving a little growth behind to avoid any ingrown hairs. PROS: Reaonably priced FAST Light, so no tired arms Long handle for easy reach No instructions necessary, just unwrap and start shaving Can be used dry (i haven't even tried it wet) Did i mention FAST CONS: Another razor to buy and replace Feels a little strange Doesn't remove the hair forever!!! GOOD TO KNOW: Some stubble left behind (although i don't mind this at all) Not eligible for Amazon Prime (not a deal breaker, so don't let this dissuade you)a This is a great product from a fantastic seller. Don't hesitate to give it a try. I'm happy i did.

Ok, here's the deal, I like the product. It's a good idea. I bought the mangroomer a few years back and it jacked up back worse than if I rolled around in broken glass for a half hour. Then I see this bakblade come along and decide to give it a shot. I like the idea that it uses razors, and it's not mechanized by any means so no hairs are being savagely ripped out. The first time I used it, I missed a few spots (takes a few times to get used to), but for the most part it worked as advertised. The problem I have with it is that it's cheap. It feels cheap, it looks cheap, and you can't help but think, "How did this thing cost me $35 again? It's a flimsy piece of plastic with three blades on it..." I can't answer that question for you. The thing must've cost $1 to make tops (sanz the razors). I just wish it either A.) looked like a $35 back razor (I don't know, thicker plastic, add some fashionable gripes, racing stripes, better blades/replacement system, etc), or B.) that it was appropriately priced at $10-$15 where it should be for the quality you are getting. Other things to mention, they say you should change the blade every 7-8 shaves, I haven't reached that many shaves yet, I'm at about 5 shaves in and I think the blades are still ok so far. I also cut myself once or twice so just be careful and go slow (I do not recommend if you have lot of raised moles, skin tags, pimples, because it will cut them off...unless you want them cut off then by all means hack away)...I'm also noticing quite a few ingrown hairs coming back which are quite itchy and uncomfortable, as all my fellow Chewbaccas can attest to. So other than it looking and feeling cheap and paying $35 for it, the bakblades do what they say they do, shave your back, just go slow, and be careful because it will cut you... I'd still rather prefer someone shave my back with an electric razor any day of the week, but I, like most of us Yetis out there, do not have that luxury and must try to shave our backs ourselves....If only it were the 70's again when chest/back hair were cool...

I have thick, coarse hair and sensitive skin. I'm prone to both nicks/cuts and razor burn, which is why I normally stay away from manual blades. I'd been using a Norelco electronic body groomer razor. It couldn't easily reach parts of my back, and it painfully pulled on the hairs. The result was a lot of red, sore skin and about half the time I realized I missed some hair. After a particularly uncomfortable back shave with my Norelco, I reluctantly ordered the baKblade 1.0, partly because the price was down to $25. The reviews citing that guys cut up their back or it didn't catch the hairs did make me skeptical going in. Still I figured for $25, I was willing to give it a try. What a great decision! The baKblade gently shaves off hairs with no pain. I also find that I don't have to go over the same area as many times as compared to my electric shaver. Not only that, but baKblade is a closer, smoother shave. There is ZERO discomfort shaving (I use it dry before taking a hot shower and don't feel any irritation in the shower). The length of the handle makes it possible to self-shave all areas of my back, but it's mostly straight so some areas are still a bit tricky to maneuver it to get to the hair. Also, I shave the back of my neck more frequently with my electric face razor and the baKblade didn't catch any hairs. It might work better if I let the hair grow out more. For the people cutting themselves, I have to think that they are applying A LOT of pressure. I don't press it into my back at all. Instead, I very gently glide it along my back against the grain of how the hair grows. It doesn't feel like there's a razor on my back, but it does the job so that's a good thing. I've also only tried it after about 3-4 weeks of growth. If you're trying to use this every couple days to maintain a completely hairless, smooth to the touch back, then maybe that would cause more irritation too as it seems to do good when the hair is a bit longer. Overall, this is by far the best self-use back shaving solution I've tried.

***Update*** Have thrown this thing in the garbage and bought the BroShaver which I love. I can buy the blades for that one anywhere and it cuts wayyyyy better. I was on the fence about both the two when I bought this one and I wasted my money on this one. Like many others say the blades don't last very long. The second time you use the blade you notice immediately. Then you are forced into buying their expensive replacement blades. The last order there was a blade which was dull as can be and I had to chunk it and use the one I had just put in the garbage. Don't buy this crap. I'm regretfully editing my review to 3 stars. After using it for some time now I am very annoyed by how little use you get out of one blade. Like others have mentioned you really only get one use out of a blade set and for the price this gets very expensive. I love the product with a fresh blade don't get me wrong! But man I wish they lasted longer. I was hoping to use this every day but I don't since I want the blades to last. Oh well. I may try the competitor that you can change the blades out with the less expensive blades. I'm still going to leave my old review below exactly as I wrote it. -------------------------------------------- Wow! Get it!! This thing is the real deal. If you're reading these reviews because you aren't sure if it works and have a hairy back....add to cart and buy! I have no idea what the negative reviewers were doing but you'd have to be an idiot to use it wrong or cut yourself. I just used it for the first time and like it said I used dry and the hair came off effortlessly. It actually does feel good using. I have used the disgusting Nair, all the other creams, waxed, and have been using the stupid ManGroomer lately but it cuts me up and leaves stubble. This left my back SMOOTH! I wish I would have had this for the last 20 years for sure. This is a game changer for me. I'm going to do like so many others and as soon as I am done with this review I'm going to order replacement blades because I certainly don't want to run out.

I had never shaved my back before. I watched a lot of videos and decided to get this one because 1) it was cheaper than the two 2) it had a longer hand 3) it had a bigger blade 4) someone had both and recommended this one over the newer one. I was super skeptical about cutting myself and felt too ashamed to ask my wife to shave my back, also, alpha male from YouTube says to never ask your spouse to do that lol. This thing however is amazing. If nothing else, you will be buying the best back scratcher you could ever imagine. It got all the hair, it worked so good I shaved my butt just because of how good it felt to scratch this thing against myself (and I’m not the type of guy into pain or anything so it isn’t that). It really is so smooth. If you’re going to shave your back for the first time, stand in the tub, but flush that hair down the toilet. I had more than enough to clog my shower drain. I would have shaved my chest and stomach but I keep that for the ol ball and chain. I’m a hairy dude. I forgot to take the before pic so I didn’t bother with the after pic. Also, wearing a shirt again once you don’t have the inch of fur keeping it off your skin will make you want to dance around like a two year old that doesn’t know what they are doing. God it felt so freaking cool. If you are looking at one of these things, fn buy it... you know you need it. I waited months before I decided the time is right. Only to find out I could have been doing this for years. My advise is don’t go with the motor powered ones. You probably want get the back scratcher abilities with it. Also, I’ve read the 2.0 pulls hairs, yikes. Not ol’ blue. Maybe after I use it for awhile, but that’s why you can change the blade. Man up, nobody wants to see a big belly and hairy back at the pool you psycho. The belly will take time but the back can be baby butt smooth in two days (due to shipping).

este es un producto totalmente practico útil y de fácil manejo para los que no nos gusta tener pelos en la espalda no mecesitas a nadie que te ayude te afeitas una ducha y listo es perfecto llega a toda la espalda con facilidad

Excellent product. Works very well. How do I get additional blades

Ah enfin je peu meu rasé dan le do pa évident mai avaic ce produit tré pratique on peu aller dan tou les coin dan le dot et rase tré bien nickel acheter pour les perssone qui neu peuvent pa maitre les main deriere le do 10x10 pour le produit acheter dessuite pa dessu

Tut was er soll. Preis ist zwar stolz, aber während ich mich bisher mit einem Griff + Halterung für eigenen Nassrasierer bemüht und verrenkt habe, lassen sich hier alle Körperstellen problemlos erreichen - und es funktioniert auch trocken ;-) Im trockenen Zustand (mir pers. lieber) scharpen die Klingen leicht über die Haut, jedoch keine Verletzungsgefahr, auch nicht bei normalen Muttermalen. Durch die breite(n) Klinge(n) ist die Rasur schnell abgeschlossen. Haarlänge spielt keine Rolle, funktioniert also je nach Bedarf im Tagetakt oder auch in größeren Abständen mit längerer Behaarung. Ich möchte den Artikel bereits nach mehreren Anwendungen nicht mehr aus meinem Leben wegdenken, und habe auch kein Problem damit für "gute Lösungen" auch alle x Monate etwas für neue Klingen zu zahlen - Zumal die Klingen bei anderen Varianten mit eigenem Nassrasierer vermutlich sogar häufiger gewechselt werden müssen.

I already have the 2.0 version. I like this one better. Only comes with 1 set of blades - so order extra blades right away. I shaved dry - worked perfectly. O cuts or scratches.
